1.CANADIAN ANEMONE (ANEMONE CANADENSIS)

Perennial Canadian anemone (Anemone

canadensis) is a US native wildflower that
spreads well in zones 3 to 8, prefers moist
soil, and thrives in full sun to part shade.

Its height varies from one to two

feet. Blossoms are individual and
white in color, and leaves are bright
green with toothed edges.

2.CANDYTUFT (IBERIS SEMPERVIRENS)

Candytuft (Iberis sempervirens) is a

woody, mounding perennial that likes full
sun and well-drained soil, and tolerates
drought. It’s suitable for zones 3 to 8, and
reaches a height of about 12 inches. In
warmer climates, this plant is evergreen.

The blossoms of candytuft consist of

sweetly scented clusters of white petals,
which are often so profuse that you can’t
see the elongated green leaves below.
Bloom time is April through May.
3. BUGLEWEED (AJUGA REPTANS)

Perennial bugleweed (Ajuga

reptans) is a member of the mint
family that readily naturalizes in
zones 3 to 10, growing best in
average to moist soil, with full
sun to partial shade. In warmer
climates, this plant is evergreen.

Topping out at 6 inches, it derives its name

from spikes of tiny bugle-shaped blossoms
that range in color from blue to white. The
leaves of this plant are glossy, toothed or
smooth, and often tinged with shades of
purple. Bloom time is May through June.

4. HORNED VIOLET (VIOLA CORNUTA)
Horned violets are annuals with green,
rounded leaves, and scented two-toned
blossoms in shades of purple and blue
that bloom from April through June. They
are perennials in temperate climates.
 Reaching from 6 to 8 inches in height,
creeping horned violets are suitable for
zones 6 to 11. They require average soil
and moisture, and do best in full sun to
part shade.

5.WISHBONE FLOWER (TORENIA FOURNIERI)
Wishbone flower, also called blue wings or
clown flower, is an annual that grows best in
part to full shade.

Suitable for zones 2 to 11, it likes moist, well-

drained soil. The blossoms of wishbone are
trumpet-shaped in shades of purple, pink,
white, and yellow, often with contrasting

“throats.” Leaves are light green and oval.

Wishbone is desirable for its ability to produce

vibrant color all summer, in the shadiest
portions of a garden.

 1. CAMPSIS RADICANS ( TRUMPET VINE)
Campsis radicans, the trumpet vine or trumpet creeper, is a
species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae, native
to the eastern United States, and naturalized elsewhere.
Growing to 10 m, it is a vigorous, deciduous woody vine,
notable for its showy trumpet-shaped flowers
C. radicans is a large,
vigorous deciduous
climber with strongly
toothed leaflets and
trumpet-shaped, deep yellow flowers to 8cm in length.

2.TRACHELOSPERMUM STAR JASMINE,

Confederate Jasmine, is
a genus of evergreen woody vines in
the dogbane family Apocynaceae, first described as a
genus in 1851. All species are native to southern and
eastern Asia.

They have long stems climbing to 12 m or

more high in trees. The leaves are opposite,
simple broad lanceolate to ovate, 2–8 cm
long and 0.5–4 cm broad. The flowers are
salverform (like those of Phlox), simple, 2.5–
7 cm broad, with five white, pale yellow or
purple petals joined together at the base to
form a tube.
The generic name Trachelospermum comes from the Greek, literally meaning "neck seed", and
referring to the seed shape
3.LEATHER FLOWER (CLEMATIS)
Clematis is a genus of about 300 species within the buttercup
family, Ranunculaceae. Their garden hybrids have been
popular among gardeners, beginning
with Clematis × jackmanii, a garden
standby since 1862; more
hybrid cultivars are being produced
constantly. They are mainly of
Chinese and Japanese origin. Most
species are known as clematis in
English.

4.WISTERIA
Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in
the legume family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae), that
includes ten species of woody

climbing bines (twining vines) that are native

to China, Korea, Japan, and the Eastern
United States. Some species are popular
ornamental plants. An aquatic flowering
plant with the common name wisteria or
'water wisteria' is in fact Hygrophila
difformis, in the family Acanthaceae.

5.BOUGAINVILLEA
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes,
or trees. It is native to Eastern South America, from Brazil, west
to Peru, and south to southern Argentina. Different authors
accept from four to
18 species in the
genus.

The inflorescence consists of large colourful sepal-

like bracts which surround three simple waxy flowers.
CEILING PLANTS/PERGOLA
1.CHENILLE PLANT
Chenille plant (Acalypha hispida) makes an
impression immediately. Fuzzy red flowers trail down
from deep green foliage,
earning the houseplant the
nickname red-hot cat’s-tail.
Take advantage of this
plant’s vibrancy and hang it
somewhere that needs a little
color. Prune chenille plant to
keep it healthy longer

2.STRING OF HEARTS
We’re obsessed with this lovely indoor hanging plant that
grows long and intricate
foliage. String of hearts
(Ceropegia woodii) has
variegated green and silver
leaves with hints of purple.
The thin heart-shape leaves
romantically dangle off fine vines. Suspend string of hearts as
high as you can and let it grow.

3.Maidenhair Fern
This indoor hanging plant has delicate foliage that trails
down in graceful waves. Sometimes indoor environments
are too dry for maidenhair fern (Adiantum), so be extra
aware of your watering habits. Spritz this houseplant a
few times a
week to keep
the humidity
levels up. This
is one of the best houseplants for living
rooms because the wispy light green leaves
will match most decor.
4.Grapevine (Vitis vinifera)

Grapevines usually fruit from midsummer to

early autumn. By growing them up a pergola,
you can enjoy the pendulous fruits hanging
down from
the canopy.
Provides a
good, dense
canopy for
shade.

5.Climbing rose ‘Westerland’

If you’re after the cottage garden look, try

growing a climbing or rambling rose up
and over your pergola. Take inspiration
from the Rose Pergola at Kew Gardens.

Any rambler or strongly-growing climbing

rose will be a good choice for
a pergola. Rambling roses are
particularly well-suited since their long and
flexible stems are easy to train up and over
the structure
OPENINGS
1.The Path

Leading up to the gate, the path is the route visitors take to reach
the gate door. Reduce foot traffic on other parts of the landscape
by providing a clearly
marked out pathway.
While a dirt path
distinguishes the
ground from other
parts of the landscape,
using a different
medium such as stone
or brick lends a more
finished and elegant look to the pathway leading
up to the gate entrance

2.The Edging

On either side of the gateway and even along the path to the
gate, edging is an opportunity to draw a visitor's attention.
Edging along the pathway to a gated entrance may include
ornamental
stones and
boulders or may
feature plants
ranging in size
from small
flowers to dwarf
conifers and topiary shrubs. On the sides of a gated
entrance, dwarf flowering trees such as hydrangeas
add color. For automated gates, a bushy shrub
with leaves that reach all the way to the ground
will help hide unsightly electrical boxes.

3.The Gate Door

While landscaping is often used to beautify an area around the

house, the land underneath the gate
itself is reserved for utility and foot
traffic. Because of this, many choose
to place a level stone or plank along
the ground immediately underneath
the gate door. Especially effective with
chain link and wooden fence gates,
this measure prevents the gate door
from becoming obstructed by dirt,
weeds or other parts of the landscape
that can become overgrown.
4.The Gateway

Like the fences on either side, the gateway is prime real

estate for ivy and creeping vines. The avalanche
evergreen, for example, features tendrils that can climb
and weave their way
up a gateway or
archway as easily as
they can climb a rock
face. When using
creeping plants,
avoid potentially
invasive species such as English ivy, since this type of
plant can quickly infiltrate and damage the rest of your
landscape and the surrounding environment.

5.THE ARCH

An arch is a curved structure generally

surmounting and connecting two uprights.
